Both on this very good site and other major sites a lot of posters blame Vitali for not being selected Mayor of Kiev - come on guys - this was a national election not a local one. Sometimes American posters scare my with their lack of knowledge.

It would be the same as if an European blamed Obama not to be selected Mayor of Chicago in the November voting........

Vitali did indeed do very good by catching almost 16% of all voters - his party is just two years old.
